A Correct answer
Explanation

An axon is a long branching cell structure that is unique to nerve cells. Axons are responsible for carrying information from the nerve cells to all the other cells of the body. The axon carries nerve signals away from the soma and also carries some types of information back to it. Interference with signals as they travel through the axons has been identified as a cause of certain degenerative neurological disorders.
